Day Six - Bands Bands Bands!
Into the second half of the week now and everyone is still going strong. Some of us were up bright and early this morning for the Tour of Scotland coach trip. First stop was the Wallace Monument in Stirling, where the chatty tour guide was keen to point out all of the flaws in Braveheart. Next port of call was Stirling Bridge and then onto Kilmahog where we fed some highland cows! We had a bit of drama at the Falls of Dochart in Killin where we had stopped for lunch when one of the girls actually fell into the water! The Heritage Fall at Aberfeldy were up next, everyone managed to stay on dry land this time. After some ice cream and a visit to the cathedral in Dunkeld, we set off for home again, playing games such as “Spot the Tractor” and having a good old fashioned sing-song!
Back on campus now and all over the place the societies were giving students the chance to “Give It a Go.” We had a chance to visit some of them to see what they were getting up to.
- - The computer games society were set up in the canteen with two Xbox 360 consoles and two TVs for playing console games such as Halo 3 and Call Of Duty. There were also PCs available for playing Worms and Unreal Tournament.
- - The Ceilidh Society were in the Mary Burton building offering some practice ahead of tomorrow night.
- - The Engineering Society had a water fight in front of the Union.
- - The Drama Society were putting on drama based games in Zero’s, as well as letting people know about their upcoming panto, Ali Baba.
The evening’s main event saw the first HW Live of the year. In Liberties we had a free acoustic stage, which saw several acts performing to a packed house. In Zero’s, there was a change to the advertised listings with Pearl And The Puppets replacing The Boy Who Trapped The Sun, Kassidy played as scheduled. Both bands put on top class performances, keeping everyone dancing around the floor all night with catchy tunes and lyrics.
Finally, the Media Team would like to extend a thank you to Freshers Helper Brittany Brown, who organised a challenge between two of the chattier helpers as to who could stay silent for longest! We appreciated the peace and quiet!
